Most Creative Japanese Cloisonne With Original Price Sticker (9194)
I think this is the most interesting handle, the colors,flowers and geometric shapes all on one handle. Circa 1890. The cloisons are also the most microscopic of all the handles and are made of sterling. There is a difference in the quality of cloisonne. Much of the modern cloisonne is very poor quality, comparied to the antique. Damage strongly affects the value of cloisonne and I don't recommend buying it, except for minor imperfections. No dents, cracks, shatter lines. A pit, single small cell missing, scratches, would be considered minor.
